Everyone's getting into the 3D printing craze.To help you get inspired by the ‘next big thing,' here are 15 of the best 3D-printed items from this year.

Today, 3D printing offers such precision it was just a matter of time until someone used this newest of technologies to create a functional object that is truly old school.

The fact that astronauts 3D-printed a spare part means that humans are now manufacturing things in space. This has never been done before! It’s also pretty awesome.

Humble beginnings This is the first ever 3D-printed object. In 1983, Chuck Hull developed what was then known as stereolithography to prototype plastic parts. This small cup shape is the first ...

Backed by Lib Work Co., Arup, and World's Advanced Saving Project, also known as WASP, the Lib Earth House Model B spans ...

3D printing isn’t just for making unique stuffed animals or weird fake meat. It allows us to fabricate objects we never could with traditional manufacturing. Here are some of the incredible ...

Vat polymerization produces solid 3D objects after beams of light shine on photoreactive liquid resins. This 3D-printing method is typically fast and inexpensive.

The first metal thingamajig ever 3D printed in space has landed on Earth, where European Space Agency (ESA) scientists are now studying it to see what makes it tick. In a press release, the ESA ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Researchers from the University of Washington have developed 3D-printed plastic objects that can connect to the internet without any electronics or batteries in the object itself.

How do you create complex 3D-printed objects in seconds, instead of hours or days? Scientists have developed a process called volumetric 3D printing that uses lasers to create complete objects in ...
